16 oz can from John, 11/12/23. Mostly clear orange color, thin off white head. Lighter aroma of pine, grapefruit, and bread. Caramel and earthy notes. Slightly thin. A little dry. Malty finish. Okay overall.

Super crisp and clear deep golden and light amber coloured body with a million bubbles rising fro the bottom, all with a large, five to six centimetre tall, slightly soapy head that leaves an ugly lace once the head fades. Aroma of pine, grass, flowers, cleanser and a dash of apricots, all with some light alcohol and malts noticeable in the nose, too, but the hops seem strongest. Medium-bodied; Very crisp, dry and grassy profile at first without much malt here at all and no real body, either, with some grassy and piney hops here and a smooth level of pineappley sweetness and resin on the end. Aftertaste shows a nice crisp finish with a good kick of apricots and pineapple, with a subtle bitterness from the hops, but pretty easy-drinking, especially considering the alcohol here, which seems close to 7,0 per cent, if that! Overall, a nice , very crisp, slightly fruity, but very dry and grassy IPA that doesn't show Imperial Status at all, but does show crisp and hoppy flavours nicely. Great to sample, especially super fresh - easily worth the trip back home - get it if you can! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Orlando (Lake Buena Vista), Florida (Store #004) on 30-April-2022 for US4,49, canned on 17-March-2022 (St. Patrick's Day) and sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-June-2022.

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Somewhat anemic aroma and flavor, generic fruit, and a little green onion maybe? Good beer, but nothing great.

Pours murky mango into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving uneven trailing sheets. Hot mango aromas. Soft with sweet mango and passion fruit upfront turning to hot salted papaya before the lasting overripe tropical fruit skin finish.

Draught at Bostonia Public House, 2/19/23. Lightly hazy, rusty bronze. Small, white head, moderate retention. Not much nose. White grape, sweat, spice, biscuit. Very odd, all texture with some piney bitterness. Spicy, well-attenuated. But zero actual hop or malt flavor, just bland texture and piney bitterness. Clean, though, which is an improvement for these guys.

Pretty hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish pure white head that fades pretty quickly and doesn't leave much on top of the twenty per cent opaque body. Aroma of light grass, a bit of perfume, some softer german and low alpha acid hops with a tiny bit of malt noticeable that shows mostly biscuity. Light to Medium-bodied; Very crisp and grassy malt notes dominate with some light sweetness from the malts right behind along with a dash of caster sugar and some subdued lemons, but the biscuity malts and very low bittering hops are noticeable, especially at the end. Aftertaste is very crisp, barely noticeable throughout and quite watery, very drinkable and only showing a tiny bit of the flavours picked up earlier. Overall, a pretty easy-drinking lager with some crisp grassy and herbal, very perfumey notes that actually do show some light hop bitterness, but the biscuity malt notes are strongest without any real lager yeast flavours at all and no alcohol or sweetness pretty much throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased a few hours earlier at Total Wine in Altamonte Springs (Orlando), Florida on 01-January-2023 for US$2,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Fayetteville, North Carolina on 01-January-2023.

Can split at DS, thanks to Fergus, 29/09/22. Hazed orange with a good sized off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is ripe citric flesh, melon, grass, orange peel, light pine nip. Taste comprises orange zest, pine needle, grass, grapefruit, ripe melon, papaya, hop spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Tidy.

Can shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a small, creamy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with ample citrus peel, lemon rind, some pithy grapefruit, a little creamsicle. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly dry on the finish, more pithy and rindy finish. Enjoyable.
